I have a calc that produces a link for a webviewer to display jpg's. While
it works for Win it fails for OSX. Can anyone shed light on this?

the calc is cWebview [ calc, textrestult, "data:text/html,<img src=\"" &
"/photo/" & file name & "\" >" ]
which returns the following: data:text/html,<img src="/photo/MyFile.jpg" >
The calc is put in the Web Address field of the WebObject which shows the
file for Win but nothing for mac.
the photo folder is always in the same directory as the filemaker file.

No it wasn't. Osx requires a quite different format.

the folder with the files is actually inside the same folder as the
fmp-file.
So the folder contains:
/photo
MyFile.fp7

After several test I have now found the solution.
With the myfilename known (or calculated elsewhere) the calc becomes:

"data:text/html,<img src=\"" &
"file:///Volumes/" &
Middle ( Get ( FilePath ) ; 7 ; ( Length( Get ( FilePath ) ) -7 ) - ( Length
( Get ( FileName ) )+4 ) ) &
"/photo/" & myfilename & "\" >"

which for example evaluates to:
file:///Volumes/SchijfB/1 20Datamap/Data
Genealogie/ProGen/ProgenFMP/photo/00087.jpg
which results in the photo being shown in the webview object.
